Should Retailers Be Focusing on Price Points or Brands?
Should retailers be more focused on certain brands or certain price points. Does it do you any good for a retailer to carry an unlimited supply of $500 rods if you only have $150 to spend?
I get why the polls are going on but to me it makes no sense at all. Of course all the brands will be up there. What the retailers really need to know is how much are you willing to spend on your next big purchase? What is you limit for a Rod? Reel? HardBait? If they knew this they could have alot more options.
What is better a store with 6 different models of Daiwas or the store that has 6 different brands at the price you want to spend? I think if these stores would do more of this kind of Polling they would be better suited to fill alot more guys' needs.
I think It would be awesome to walk into a shop and tell someone that you want to spend $100 on a baitcasting rod and $100 on a baitcasting reel, and they come back with 6 different brands for you to test and try, this is a popular price point and I think that stores should carry more good stuff at this point. A good store should have atleast 6 good choices at this price point, to name a few rods manufacturers, St. Croix, Abu Garcia, Wright & Mcgill, Element 21 all have great $100 rods.
These are the kinds of examples we need, not 200 different rods from 1 good company but 10 different rods from 20 good companies in the price points we are willing to spend our hard earned money on.
This is why I think that the polls that are up right now, form a retailers perspective, draw them no good conclusion. They (retailers) say 'we already got those brands we're good and that is it.' I say no find out what price points customers are willing to spend on rods and reels, then stock the crap out of that particular price point item from as many different manufactures that you can. Give fishermen options and they will buyt!

Haven't heard from Craig in awhile, you must have his toes curling. You on the other hand, don't have to come up for air, you're a multi-tasker.

I was complimenting mr. hobbs on his brilliant performance of "cherry bombing". I am glad you came up for air long enough to defend your boy. Now get back to work.

No relation to mr.craig. I don't recall defending him or taking his side at any point. In fact, I agree he made himself look fairly foolish. You on the otherhand, have grave concern for mr.hobbs well been for one reason or another.
I am glad you are already over the name thing too. It's not as funny the second time. The red blood thing was a little better. -

What does it mean when a person say "Roll Tide"???? I see people sometime say "Roll Tide" and it is usually a person who is not very smart or education.

Holy shit! All this over brands versus price points...seriously? Someone got the pot stirring...panties got bunched up. You can always tell it's been too long between fishing trips and catching bass when it degrades to things like this. Kimihiko..."Roll Tide" is an expression from the University of Alabama..a.k.a Crimson Tide. Alabama is rabid about either Crimson Tide or Auburn Tigers...both college teams. Most people there are fans of one or the other. Tho personally I like the Tide. I do miss Northern Alabama for the fishing tho. Come on Spring!

Just messing around, they where going to get erased regardless, I was mostly messing with Chris Ferry, which I do consider a friend, for posting the first one. It was in no regards a tantrum. What other time have I exactly stirred the pot recently? Pretty sure that post was the only one and then this post when I picked on Craig a bit.
So T-Bone I hope this answers your questions of why I made all those polls, I hope you don't hate me for it.
